Great location.
Pros:

Location and front desk staff.

Cons:

We checked in and were given room 217 which overlooked the air-conditioning units. The room is small and the bed frame is dangerous to maneuver around. It scratched my leg. Went down to the front desk and the ladies there were very nice and switched us to a room that was more adequate and our stay went good from there on. Great front desk staff.

This was a clean, small hotel with excellent location to the beach. It was also right next to Margaritaville.
Pros:

The location was excellent. It was just a matter of crossing the boardwalk and the beach was right there. The room was clean and relatively quiet. There were beach chairs and a small beach umbrella in the room.

Cons:

The room was an oceanfront king bed room. The room was facing the ocean but the windows were pretty small. And, of course, they didn’t open which I’m sure was for safety and liability reasons. We did not have a balcony, which really would have been nice.

The bathroom was tiny and the water pressure in the shower was nonexistent.

The bed was stiff and uncomfortable. I imagine they are on the old side.

We had trouble getting our room safe to work… twice. We did call the front desk and someone came up immediately.

The touch lamps on the bedside table were loose in the socket so we also called in that.

The refrigerator was fine but didn’t have a freezer section.

The floor got sandy pretty quickly after going to the beach.

The room itself was very small.

There were no vending machines on the property which was a little inconvenient.

Fun location on the beach!
Pros:

The main reason to stay here is the location. It is directly on the Hollywood Beach boardwalk. You are literally a few steps from the front door to the beach. Also there are dozens of restaurants and shops within walking distance. It is a noisy lively area, so not for one who wants a quiet retreat.

Cons:

The Hotel Sheldon is an old building and very "tired" It has been completely renovated and so it is in much better shape than when we stayed there a decade ago. It is clean and convenient. We stayed in a balcony room which is amazing because of the view..you can sit and enjoy a view of the beach/ocean/ and all that is going on down on the boardwalk. The bathroom is tiny tiny..which might not bother many. It made everything a bit more difficult since there is literally no counter to place toiletries on, etc. definitely far from luxury, but you can't fault the location if that is where you want to be!

Overall, I enjoyed my birthday trip/stay. I would definitely recommend to others and plan to visit again.
Pros:

I loved everything about the property, having the tent towels and beach chairs was a great idea. We had an issue with the tv the first night and the next day staff made sure our issue was fixed. Super friendly super sweet.

Cons:

I didn’t like parking wasn’t included in the resort fee. 34$ for parking when you’re staying at the resort is a little pricey
